Often times, female cats–even a senior cat–make for excellent caretakers. Not only are they wonderful mothers to their offspring, but they can even care for their purrsonal possessions, too! But really, even male cats can make for sweet and loving caretakers as well.
For example, this little clip of a gray kitten hugging his teddy bear has set the internet into cuteness overload ever since its debut some years ago…I know it’s still one of my all-time favorite cat videos on the internet!
For a black and white tuxedo senior cat named Pixie, she takes it up a notch in the cuteness overload department by taking her favorite toys on tiny excursions around her home and the areas surrounding her home.
(And before you shame her mother for allowing her to travel outdoors, please bear in mind that it is common practice in the UK to allow cats to travel outdoors.)
Pixie, proud cat toy mom
Beth Wilson, Pixie’s cat mum, tells The Dodo:
“If she notices that I’m watching her, she stops and puts the toy down… In summer she likes to take them into the garden,” Wilson explained. “Sometimes she just takes them for a tour and then back in the house. Other times, they get left in the greenhouse. If I put a blanket on the grass to sit on, she will put toys on it.”
Luckily for us, Beth is able to take some quick snaps of precious senior cat Pixie in action, and the images are oh-so-adorable!
Look at little Pixie carrying her look-alike tuxedo toy in the garden!

Gingy baby cuddles!

If her teddy bear fancies a stroll, Pixie is ready to take the reins and show him around the garden…

Her owner rescued her when she was just a wee kitten, and since that very day she’s brought her endless joy and abundant smiles…
“I got her as a kitten 12 years ago,” Wilson said. “She totally changed my life … She takes care of me when I’m feeling bad and she always cheers me up.”

And when it comes to those chilly months, Pixie keeps her toy excursions indoors–as shown above.
A special thank you to Beth for sharing these lovely images and her story with The Dodo, we surely enjoyed her sweet senior kitty–and we’re sure you did, too.
Pixie knows, life is meant to be enjoyed with someone by your side, and we’re impressed by her maternal instinct to show her toy babies a good time. Here’s to you, sweet Pixie girl!

Reminds me so much of my 2 boys who are no longer with me. Bob and Sam were very similar colours. Sadly we lost Sam just over a year ago at 17 and Bob a month back at 18. They to had a garden to roam in, open fields as well at our previous house.
Just when I think we’ve seen all the cutest kitties, along comes Pixie💗
Just came back from funeral of my 97 yr old mom….kiwi, my 12 yr old beautiful calico is by my side hugging me and bringing comfort and joy to me. My mom, when her memory was fading would ask a couple times every morn, “how many cats do we have”? I would answer 4 ( i foster w home aid) and she would say “u crazy”. squeekie had 4 kitties…..we gave away 3…..mom asked how many cats and I answered “we had 8, but we gave away 3 kitties” she said why did u give them away. These little animals are pure love; so was my mom, our WARRIOR PRINCESS. (She was a partisan, a freedom fighter with the underground, during WW11 and she killed a lot of Nazis.) May G-d bless her soul.
